    We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

    I work with Children and one of the babies mum's had knitted the most beautiful blanket made out of the wool that you describe... the little one was so toasty warm in it that it made me worry that she would overheat, so I was constantly checking on her and then ended up taking it off her! It was lovely mind you...
